I was really looking forward to seeing what Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens were going to do with the young goaltender Jakub Dobes
He was unbeatable during training camp and the preseason games, and he's clearly had a better start to the season than
Samuel Montembeault, so we were eager to see if he would be sent back into action tonight.
That's what some people believed or were hoping for.
Well, we have our answer!
Confirmed: Jakub Dobes returns to the bench despite his brilliance, and Samuel Montembeault will be in goal for the Montreal Canadiens tonight
There you go! Martin St-Louis has made his choice:
"Samuel Montembeault vs New York Rangers."
Personally, I don't necessarily dislike the decision to go back to your number-one goalie, especially on a Saturday night at the Bell Centre, but this will still be an important game for Samuel's confidence.
If he happens to have another rough outing tonight against the Rangers, it's clear that some armchair GMs will start raising questions.
Samuel Montembeault, 28 years old, currently has a 2-1-0 record this season, with a goals-against average of 2.97 and a save percentage of .870.
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, currently has a 2-0-0 record this season, with a goals-against average of 1.46 and a save percentage of .940.
